A 9-year-old girl, Leah Lendel, suffered a severe shark bite while snorkeling at a Boca Grande beach, nearly severing her hand. Doctors at Tampa General Hospital successfully reattached Leah's hand after a 4 ½ hour surgery. Quick action by first responders and the shark's clean bite aided in the successful reattachment.

The family of Leah Lendel, the 9-year-old girl who survived a shark attack at a Florida beach, speaks out about her recovery. “It was really, really bad,” Leah’s mother Nadia said, when describing the moment her daughter emerged after a shark nearly bit off her hand.
